Verdict

Turret Rocks invariably gives a good account but has a penalty for her victory at this level at Leopardstown. I'm So Fancy chased home Magical in a Group 2 here and ran very well when leading for a long way in a Group 1 at Deauville last month while Snowy Winter gained a shock victory over Hence in a Gowran Listed contest last time. Archie Watson's filly was earlier six lengths behind DESERT DIAMOND in a Listed contest at York and Sir Michael Stoute's improving filly looks the one to beat on that form. Mary Tudor ran a superb race when third behind Sea Of Class in the Irish Oaks though that was over 1m4f and she's not certain to have the pace for this.
